Kaspersky can forecast malware translation

Kaspersky Lab has just received a patent in the United States on technology that allows to accurately predict the potential scale of malware outbreaks to prevent them from spreading .

Today's malware has the ability to spread uncontrollably fast, with millions of computers infected in an instant when there is a scan outbreak over the Internet. This could knock down the giant infrastructure, put information highway into stagnation and leave more damage to the system because of data leaks, then open the door to a large-scale scam.

Detecting malware on every infected computer during the outbreak has little or no effect. What is needed is a reliable method to estimate the potential size and direction of the epidemic, an early warning system and exactly what new technology is led by Yury Mashevsky, Yury Namestnikov, Nikolay Denishchenko and Pavel Zelensky of Kaspersky Lab developed, can do. Technology was granted patent No. 7743419 of the US Patent and Trademark Office on June 22, 2010.

New patented technology works through analyzing statistical data on threats received from the global surveillance network. This network monitors malware downloads, hackers' attacks and other similar security incidents, records the time they occur, their origin and geographic location . New outbreaks may occur Identified by the number of incidents that occurred at a specific time in one place or another. This method makes it easy to determine the origin of the translation and predict its approximate propagation type.

Protection measures can then be developed and implemented by those countries in the course of the epidemic, slowing down the rate of transmission significantly and providing effective restrictions on damage. . Monitoring, detection and analysis of data is carried out in real time, making this patented technology particularly effective for spreading malware outbreaks.
